I've always been able to save to vfat, equal with java installed or not :) ... before 2.4.x kernel. Maybe you have a mount point containing uppercase letters? This is a known bug in StarOffice. OK, thanks for answer, I'll watch this link. Ain
I've never been able to save files to vfat with StarOffice 5.2. I thought this was a Java problem. Sun's java for linux has the same problem with vfat partitions. You might find useful comments on http://java.sun.com.

After upgrading to 2.4.2 kernel (SuSE 7.0 update, rpm) StarOffice 5.2 cannot any more save files to a vfat (it doesnt matter fat16 or fat32) partition, giving general i/o error. With all other applications there's no problem. Also can I delete files or create directories with StarOffice explorer, only saving doesn't work. I have twice (with 2.4.0 kernel was the same trouble) written to staroffice newsgroup, but no reply. OpenOffice can save, but it is not yet good enough to use in production. With kernel downgrading there's also a problem, because (as someone mentioned before) SuSE won't boot with 2.2.18 kernel upgrade rpm.
